Unless you’re triggered again and looking for a fight. But not a fist fight. I mean argument. Since there seems to be trouble in comprehension of what people mean, Chief.

Are you finally admitting you’re the troll he mentioned, even though your name wasn’t specifically spelled out for you?
I get called the T-word a lot. I will never say that I am one. Ever. I will never call any of you that name either.

When someone calls me that name and says that I’m dead, realizing I didn’t kill myself and didn’t die from natural causes, the perpetrator of the name-calling is saying they killed me. It’s yet another death threat lobbed at me.
You slept through the lesson on metaphor's I take it?

It’s “metaphors,” but thanks for playing.
His phone probably did that. My aurocorrect does that to plural words all the time.

Lmao. This whole thing.

News flash: “lmao” isn’t a real word. I’ll let the troll figure it out on its own.

Drew Magary, ace correspondent for Deadspin had a great take on correcting writing:

"Listen man, I write shit for a living, and even I don’t hit Delete or Backspace that often. That would require me to LOOK at my keyboard and then move my finger two inches more than it is accustomed to. Too much effort. If there’s a typo in my email, it’s fine. The other person will know I meant to say SHITBAG and not SHOTBAW. I ain’t going back."

Take that SHOTBAWS. :blink
